Abstract: There is provided a method of forming a thin film-based microfluidic electronic device. The method includes: providing a first elastomeric thin film layer on a substrate; depositing a first elastomer on the first elastomeric thin film by direct ink writing to form an elastomeric structure configured to define a microfluidic channel on the first elastomeric thin film layer; providing a second elastomeric thin film layer over the elastomeric structure to cover the microfluidic channel; providing a sacrificial layer on the second elastomeric thin film; depositing liquid metal into the microfluidic channel to form a conductor in the microfluidic channel; and electrically connecting the conductor to an electronic component. The thin film-based microfluidic electronic device is a tissue or skin adhesive sensor including a skin adhesive acoustic device.

Abstract: An extensible electroconductive wiring material includes a flexible electroconductive material and insulating elastic bodies and, wherein the flexible electroconductive material having an electroconductive layer has vent peripheral edge portions in which vent holes and/or vent slits are penetrated and aligned in series and/or in parallel along an energization direction of the electroconductive layer while the vent peripheral edge portions are energizably linked, and the vent peripheral edge portions is sealed and covered by the insulating elastic bodies, so as not to be exposed; and the insulating elastic bodies, have penetration slits, and/or penetration holes which penetrate therethrough while matching the vent peripheral edge portions and are smaller than the vent holes and the vent slits. The extensible electroconductive wiring module has a plurality of these extensible electroconductive wiring materials.
